DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the glove box includes an inner bucket body 1 and an outer panel 2, and the inner bucket body 1 is provided with a connection portion 11 that can be hinged to a vehicle body.
[0032] In this embodiment, the inner bucket body 1 is provided with a storage cavity 12, the connecting portion 11 is located at the bottom of the inner bucket body 1, and is provided with an installation opening 13 for installing an articulated shaft, and is hinged to the vehicle body through the articulated shaft.
[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a lock hook assembly 3 capable of being locked with a vehicle body is provided on one side of the inner bucket body 1 close to the outer panel 2 .
[0034] In this embodiment, a through hole is formed on the side wall of the inner bucket body 1. Preferably, through holes are formed on both sides of the inner bucket body 1.
[0035] The lock hook assembly 3 includes a lock hook body 31 and a driving member 32. The lock hook body 31 is slidably arranged on the inner bucket body 1. The driving member 32 is arranged on the inner bucket body 1. The driving member 32 is connected to the lock hook body 31 and can drive the end of the lock hook body 31 to slide through the through hole, so that the end of the lock hook body 31 is inserted into the lock hole of the vehicle body or slides out of the lock hole of the vehicle body.
[0036] In this embodiment, two locking hook bodies 31 are designed to correspond to the through holes one by one, and the driving member 32 is designed to be a single group, corresponding to the two locking hook bodies 31 .
[0037] Specifically, the driving member 32 includes a knob 321 rotatably arranged on the inner bucket body 1 , and the rotation of the knob 321 can be achieved through an external handle, a lever, etc.
[0038] The side wall of the knob 321 has a driving portion 322 , and the lock hook body 31 is provided with a mounting groove corresponding to the driving portion 322 , and the driving portion 322 is slidably matched with the mounting groove.
[0039] In this embodiment, two driving parts 322 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the knob 321. The driving part 322 is designed to be cylindrical and slidably cooperates with the installation groove to drive the lock hook body 31 to slide. The sliding cooperation between the lock hook body 31 and the inner bucket body 1 is achieved through a number of guide holes on the guide frame.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, a reset member 323 is further provided between the lock hook body 31 and the inner bucket body 1. The reset member 323 applies elastic force to the lock hook body 31, and the end of the lock hook body 31 is inserted into the lock hole of the vehicle body under the action of the elastic force.
[0041] In this embodiment, the reset member 323 is a tension spring, one end of which is connected to the lock hook body 31 , and the other end of which is connected to the inner bucket body 1 .
[0042] As another solution, the reset member 323 is designed as a compression spring, and the two ends of the compression spring are respectively connected to the lock hook body 31 and the inner bucket body 1.
[0043] By rotating the knob 321, the knob 321 drives the lock hook body 31 to slide out of the lock hole of the vehicle body through the cooperation between the driving part 322 and the installation groove, so as to open the glove box; after loosening the knob 321, the lock hook body 31 is inserted into the lock hole of the vehicle body under the action of the reset member 323 to achieve locking.
[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the outer plate 2 is arranged on the inner bucket body 1, and the inner bucket body 1 has reinforcing ribs on the side close to the outer plate 2. The outer plate 2 is provided with an outer airbag 4 on the side away from the inner bucket body 1. The outer plate 2 is provided with an inner airbag 5 on the side close to the inner bucket body 1.
[0045] In this embodiment, an auxiliary hole is opened on the side wall of the inner bucket body 1, and the auxiliary hole is located between the outer panel 2 and the through hole. A cylinder 6 is fixed to the inner bucket body 1, and a piston 61 is slidably arranged in the cylinder 6. An air cavity is formed between the piston 61 and the inner wall of the cylinder 6. The outer airbag 4 is connected to the air cavity through a pipeline 62, and the end of the piston 61 can pass through the auxiliary hole and be inserted into the auxiliary groove of the vehicle body.
[0046] Specifically, the cylinder 6 can be fixed to the inner bucket body 1 by fasteners, and the pipeline 62 can be designed as a two-section type, one section is an outer tube connected to the air cavity of the cylinder 6, and the other section is an inner tube opened on the outer panel 2. The airbag is connected to the air cavity of the cylinder 6 through the inner tube and the outer tube in turn.
[0047] Of course, the pipeline 62 can also be designed as a single trachea, and the air bag is directly connected to the air cavity through the trachea.
[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the inner bucket body 1 is provided with a slot 14 , and the outer plate 2 is detachably connected with a collapsible rod 7 , which is engaged with the slot 14 , and the hardness of the collapsible rod 7 is lower than that of the outer plate 2 .
[0049] In this embodiment, the detachable connection between the collapsible rod 7 and the outer plate 2 can be achieved by a clamping method, or by a threaded connection as another solution, so as to facilitate the replacement of the collapsible rod 7 after it is broken.
[0050] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the vehicle decelerates or stops suddenly, the passenger's knees collide with the outer airbag 4, and the outer airbag 4 can cushion and protect the passenger's knees. The outer airbag 4 is compressed after the collision, and the gas is delivered to the air cavity of the cylinder 6, so that the volume of the air cavity increases, and the piston 61 is driven to slide, so that the end of the piston 61 passes through the auxiliary hole of the inner bucket body 1 and is inserted into the auxiliary groove of the vehicle body to achieve clamping, thereby reducing the external force on the lock hook body 31 and reducing the risk of the lock hook body 31 breaking;
[0051] If the passenger's collision force on the outer panel 2 is large, the crush rod 7 will break, and the inner airbag 5 will buffer the outer panel 2, reducing the damage to the inner bucket body 1 and the outer panel 2, while also reducing the damage to the passenger's knees.
[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
